Thanks for visiting my Boutique Practice
I think of a boutique as a small, cozy place; the opposite of a one-stop-shop that serves every need. A carefully curated nook, that because it doesn’t do everything, does the things it does do very well.
By keeping my practice small, I can get to know you, uniquely. Understand your hopes, dreams, and goals. What motivates you and what scares you.
It also allows me to follow my professional curiosity, continuing to learn and expand my therapeutic toolbox, while living a balanced life myself.
My intention is to show up for you in each session rested, professional (without being formal), ready to give you my full attention and support; an ally in your journey to better mental health and a more satisfying life.
Why Counseling for*Her*?
Being a woman is a distinct cultural experience, with financial, medical, social, physical, and political aspects that affect our mental health. We deserve specialized care that reflects those needs.
I’ve chosen to focus my training and career on looking at mental health through the lens of this cultural experience, and feel privileged to do so.
You’ll notice I (of course) use the terms “woman” and “women” throughout this site. To be clear, by women I mean people who identify as female—both transgender and cisgender.
Let this not take away from my stance that all who do not identify as women also deserve love and equitable, gender-affirming care.
What I value
The freedom to live my values through my livelihood is deeply important to me.
These values show up in the conversations we’ll have in our sessions together and include:
Having and expressing new and original ideas and celebrating your unique ways of seeing things.
Promoting a just and equitable society and supporting your right to thrive in a safe community.
Questioning and challenging norms and supporting your exploration of the life you want to create.
I believe…
In being a lifelong learner.
Your past doesn’t have to dictate your future.
That spark of an idea you have about a different, more fulfilling life is telling you something important!
